Edgar Allan Poe Quotes

A Dream Within A Dream

Take This Kiss Upon The Brow!
And, In Parting From You Now,
Thus Much Let Me Avow-
You Are Not Wrong, Who Deem
That My Days Have Been A Dream;
Yet If Hope Has Flown Away
In A Night, Or In A Day,
In A Vision, Or In None,
Is It Therefore The Less Gone?
All That We See Or Seem
Is But A Dream Within A Dream.

I Stand Amid The Roar
Of A Surf-tormented Shore,
And I Hold Within My Hand
Grains Of The Golden Sand-
How Few! Yet How They Creep
Through My Fingers To The Deep,
While I Weep- While I Weep!
O God! Can I Not Grasp
Them With A Tighter Clasp?
O God! Can I Not Save
One From The Pitiless Wave?
Is All That We See Or Seem
But A Dream Within A Dream?
